In the City
The Reign Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Kiss me right before you go
Leave me something to remember babe
Run your fingers through my hair
Its the little things you do
These are the moments I forget
That your never leaving her
These are the moments I don't understand
Why you even wanna be with her
Ooh you

You whisper so soft in my ear
Saying I deserve better
You keep saying I deserve better
But we both know
That aint what I wanna hear
When you gone get your shit together
Don't you want us to be together
Oh yeah yeah yeah

Damn damn damn I miss the days when you would beat it like a drum
Sneaking round and creeping how is this what we become
You say don't wait around for you
Then tell me Im the one
And you only belong to me until we see the sun

Then you disappear its like your blowing in the wind
Your scent is on my pillow and my scent is on your skin
And now Im in Atlantic City taking shots at 3 AM
Please don't say your leaving this D'ussè is kicking in
In in in

Don't say that you leaving baby stay and get it in
I know you came here all this way and I won't make you wait again
Lets play pretend I know my roll
I pleasure you that's principle
What time in place you in control
Took your heart and want your soul
Take you up to pinnacle
No limit what Im giving NO
You never get that minimal I promise

You whisper so soft in my ear
Saying you don't wanna hurt me
You keep saying that you don't deserve me
And Im so over it Im over it
I hope that you don't think that Im
Gonna wait around forever
Im not just gonna wait around for ever
Oh no no no

I don't know why I give you my love
I give you my love
I give you my love

I give you my love
I give you my love
I give you my love

Sitting by the phone




Just another night alone
Left me out here on my own
